Petrea

Description

This rock'n'roll boot is named after one of our favourite Fluevogers, who has embodied the true Fluevogian spirit for a full decade.* A Spring boot featuring five buckled straps garnished with ends of vintage Fluevog western boot wings, The Petrea boasts a super pointy-toe in luscious leathers of soft Spassolato, handrubbed with denatured alcohol to remove some of the coloured dye and revealing the natural tone of the leather. A rubber sole plate with a 1.25" leather wrapped heel, ensures The Petrea Boot is perfect with a glass of Malbec during those back stage magic moments. Truth and integrity since 1970.

I'm in heaven

Reeca - Los Angeles

The LA store on Melrose ordered these for me from DC. Thought I was getting white but the "peach" or ballet pink as my friends call the color arrived and they are FABULOUS!!! I feel like a combination of British rockster, Greenwich Village hipster and Mists of Avalon sorceress. 8 fits great and I'm usually a 7.5. I've owned Fluevogs for years and have NEVER been disappointed.

I'm a first time fluevoger...I have window shopped the site for at least 2 year and finally ordered the Petrea boot 4/2/13, they shipped 4/3/ received 4/9,thanks to my daughter, I couldn't wait to open the box,they are simply fabulous (just as pictured and then, in goes my foot, into a 10.5 (it fits)normally an 11(was not available) I was told the Petrea runs big, so I took a chance with the 10.5. I can wiggle my toes,still I'm a little nervous. The leather is so soft. As much as I love & want this shoe I must be realistic, after all I did not have the 11 to compare with the 10.5. Wish me luck

Great fit

Patricia - San Francisco

I just received these shoes so I haven't walked around in them yet. I normally wear size 7.5, that is what I ordered, and they fit perfectly. Although the pointed toe will take some getting used to and the straps near the ankle may need additional holes poked in them, so far I really like these unusual shoes.

Fabulous! Except...

I love the way these boots look, just fabulous. Re: sizing - I'm an 8, occasional 8 1/2. Size 8 was all that was available and they fit, for the most part. If I had been able to order an 8 1/2, I probably should have since the left bottom-most buckle (closest to the toe) hits my pinkie toe tarsal knuckle and causes great pain. Cinching that buckle tighter moves it off the knuckle but squeezes the foot. I have remedied by using mole-foam and it's working. That means I will now have to make sure I have molefoam on hand so I can wear these boots. But they suuuure are fabulous, and I'm sporting them today with pink socks with flying pink piggies. ,-)

amazing

Not to be a heel but...

Caitlyn - Vancouver

I LOVE the look of these shoeboots! I have Truth boots and Truth shoes, why not shoeboots?

I don't know if I want to buy them because, as much as I love my other Truths, the heels are crap. As someone has mentioned the leather around the plastic heel comes off. Fast. I keep wearing both pairs 'cause they are comfy and gorgeous but really?

On the other hand, on sale....

Gosh, what is a girl to do?

gorgeous

Robyn - winnipeg

I have this in Black and it is absolutely lovely. Soft, comfy and totally beautiful. I have not had any trouble with the heel on this or any other truth shoe that I have, although I am not really hard on shoes.I'm looking forward to loving them for a long time.

my "achilles heel"

Yvonne - Rochester NY

First and foremost I absolutely LOVE this shoe! It has it all-amazing Fluevog comfort,buckles upon buckles,awesome looking black leather all in one ultra cool package. That said now the bad news...the heels on these shoes are absolute crap, harsh words I know but so true. The leather wrapped heel is actually a plastic heel wrapped with leather that has the same properties as the contact paper you'd line your kitchen drawers with. Not what you'd expect on a $399 dollar boot. The good news is JF has provided the repair work,TWICE now,and the Fluevog employees at the NYC store have been very accommodating-but I just can't help being a bit bummed and disgusted with these heels and the way they "self destruct" after just one or two wearings. These are so comfortable to walk in and look amazing with funky socks, but I am hesitant to wear them because I have to be totally aware of every step I take. If I don't they end up looking like something I picked up at a big box discount store for $9.99! This problem is also an issue with the Pilgrim, another member of the Truth family. "Truth" is they aren't worth the money at least not until John creates a better heel for these and the other members of this family. Too bad it's such a cool looking shoe....

Comfortable!
